Shoot! When should she scan? How far away? She couldn't see him over all the tall, sweaty people.
"Excuse me!"
Carefully, she squeezed between them like water through rocks. She did not like the feel of their skin. Or the smell. She liked the glow sticks though, she had one around her wrist and ankle. Orange and green. But light couldn't stop smell.
Still, she kept going until she couldn't no more.
Once the Project finished, people would still be able to scan, but she wanted to see them, she wanted to know their characters more than the project would allow.
Maybe she should go higher.
Yes, higher! This place was pretty large, there had to be old places where the water used to flow up to the surface. If she could find it...Ladder! Ew, slimy.
Easy...easy…
There!
Dang! Too far! But at least she could still hear the music. It was a nice place. Quieter. Calmer. She could see everyone.
Maybe she could stay here for a while.
Voices. Whose? Go?
"Five against one? Not bad boys,"
Tracer? Tracer!
Trapped, too many? Help? How?
Scream? No, the music was too loud. Lights!
But her aim was terrible!
She threw one bracelet at the bad people, then blinked. NO! BAD IDEA BAD IDEA.
"Get her!"
She screamed, but couldn't be heard. Another one! Kick! The green hoop spun and spun away. Would someone look?
"Step any closer and the girl's gone."
Tears formed in the child's eyes. She tried to say something. But they gripped on too tight.
Tracer narrowed her eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing I can't handle,"
"Who are you talking to?"
Shoot.
"Oh...no one important,"
"I'm coming over."
Double Shoot.
Okay, she'll have to this quick. But how?
